Trump is wasting energy and political capital on irrelevant foreign theaters rather than relevant ones (I.e. East Asia) and domestic issues- like hello, Antifa is already doing probing attacks against the Federal government and the Democrats are talking blood everyday and somehow their machines haven’t been crushed yet?

Honestly, I'm also shocked Trump hasn't really lifted a finger against Antifa, considering the amount of deranged fedposting being made by the online left, & especially the "intellectual" online Left. Like, Breadtube streaming platform Nebula is full of way more Nazi shit than Rumble (like, multiple video essays openly justifying Muslims killing Jews - even within the United States. & the week before Charlie Kirk's assassination, there was a video on Nebula that literally advocated for its viewers to commit acts of terrorism for transgender rights!)...yet the FBI/DHS/etc. seem to be dawdling their thumbs?
 
The "City of Angels" has always been idiotic at it's face, considering the anarcho-tyranny that defines it's existence.. City of Rats is far more fitting.

From the Yelp Infestation Index:

Los Angeles earned the unenviable title of America’s #1 rodent hotspot, with more Yelp searches for rodent services than any other city.

Taking #2 in the rodent rankings is San Francisco… New York City lands at #3, which is hardly surprising…

No, it sure isn’t.

These findings help explain how vermin get elected to rule over jurisdictions like Los Angeles, where the mayor is an actual communist, and San Francisco, where creatures like Gavin Newsom and Willie Brown have been mayor. Democrats must be registering rats to vote. The strategy should work well for Pajeet-commie Zohran Mamdani, who has been endorsed for mayor of New York by rats like Hakeem Jeffries and Kathy Hochul.

If rats are more prevalent where neolib dogma prevail, it could be because they thrive on filth and decay, both of which are inevitable products of shitlibbery.

The ad cherry-picked Reagan's remarks and views on tariffs in order to promote a pro-free trade agenda that would ultimately benefit Canada:
The ad features audio excerpts from an April 25, 1987 radio address in which Reagan said: “Over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.’’

Trump attacked the ad on Truth Social Friday posting: “CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!! They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY.″

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute criticized the ad on X Thursday night posting that it “misrepresents the ‘Presidential Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade’ dated April 25, 1987.”

While Trump called the ad fake, Reagan’s words were real. But context is missing.

Here’s a look at the facts:

Reagan, who held office during a period of growing fear over Japan’s rising economic might, made the address a week after he himself had imposed tariffs on Japanese semiconductors; he was attempting to explain the decision, which seemed at odds with his reputation as a free trader.

Reagan did not, in fact, love tariffs. He often criticized government policies – including protectionist measures such as tariffs – that interfered with free commerce and he spent much of 1987 radio address spelling out the case against tariffs.

“High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars,’' he said. “The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs.’'

But Reagan’s policies were more complicated than his rhetoric.

In addition to taxing Japanese semiconductors, Reagan slapped levies on heavy motorcycles from Japan to protect Harley-Davidson. He also strong-armed Japanese automakers into accepting “voluntary’’ limitations on their exports to the United States, ultimately encouraging them to set up factories in the American Midwest and South.

And he pressured other countries to push down the value of the currencies to help make American exports more competitive in world markets.

Robert Lighthizer, a Reagan trade official who served as Trump’s top trade negotiator from 2017 through 2021, wrote in his 2023 memoir that “President Reagan distinguished between free trade in theory and free trade in practice.’’

I think it's because they're lying to the world on multiple levels.
  • Trump is going against Reagan who is a boomer Republican deity
  • Making a mockery of Trump in general and basically giving it national backing
  • Acting like Canada hasn't had tariffs on the US before Trump showed up
  • Canada being duplicitous fags at America's expense

Ontario produced it but it's effectively state sponsored propaganda that doesn't apply to Canada.

I wonder how much of this is just the FBI building an airtight case to take out the big wigs funding ANTIFA and stuff.
 
You know I gotta ask a question why is it that anytime someone points out things like SBI or dei in media, you will have people be like “oh that’s all coincidence you are being a racist chud” like why is it wrong to point out that so many major games and movies All have the same consulting firm, and said firm is funded partially by black rock? Better yet why is it that these same people get Uber mad whenever you point out this kinda of stuff in children’s media.

follow this logic my g, first people on chopping block for pay is active duty soldiers, apparently the pentagon needs like a 8 billion dollar a month float just to keep its ADMIN function to say nothing of in the field motherfuckers.

If you cant pay your army you dont have people to extort the civilians to give you money to pay the army

History has MANY such cases of this.

Nebula is such a funny them to me. Like you have these people that are all “fight the evil megacorp” whilst they lock their content behind a paywall that only 1% of their audience will pay for. Also remember that left doesnt care about Jews, they view Jews as white and would gladly kill them giving the chance.

That is what loyalty is for. Something forgotten by hedonistic peons such as yourself. They will be made whole. Trump will take care of them. Your concern trolling is cute

Update on the RIFs case (reductions in force, firings of government employees during the shutdown). Last night the defense (Trump admin) submitted their opposition/response to the motion for preliminary injunction filed by the plaintiffs (the unions). It is thirty pages long, which is a shame because the Clinton-appointed lady judge in the Northern District of California will not bother to read it.

Also last night, the defense filed its opposition/response to the motion for plaintiffs to amend their complaint yet again. It's only five pages, but the judge still won't read it.

The union lawyers are expected to file their hysterical replies on Monday, and then the Big Hearing Covering Everything will commence on Tuesday, at which time the judge will undoubtedly ignore everything the admin lawyers have to say and declare that "everything [the union lawyer] just said is what I'm ruling," as she literally did in the last hearing, and that nobody can be fired no matter what. 🙄

At what point can they ignore the retarded sheboon and move it to a court not full of faggots?
